@ -1340,6 +1340,182 @@ actions available in a popup. This will allow you to:
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.1 CREATE NEW SPLIT =
=================================================================
In Normal mode, press Ctrl-w to open the Window menu, which displays
a list of available commands.
To open a new empty buffer in a vertical split on the right half
of your current window, use Ctrl-w nv (i.e., press Ctrl
and w simultaneously, then press n, followed by v). Your current
window will now split in 2 vertically. A new empty buffer split
will appear on the right half and your cursor will jump to the
new vertical split.
To create a new empty buffer in a horizontal split, press
Ctrl-w ns. This action divides your current window into two
horizontally, creates a new buffer, and moves your cursor to the
new horizontal split.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.2 MOVE BETWEEN SPLITS =
=================================================================
Use Ctrl-w k to move to the split above your current split. Use
Ctrl-w j to move to the split below. Use Ctrl-w h to move to
the split on the left and Ctrl-w l to move to the split on the
right. To navigate to the next split (in the order they were
opened), press Ctrl-w w.
You can now do whatever you want in your new buffers and splits.
Once you are done with using your new buffer split,
you can close it with Ctrl-w q . Move to the bottom right split
with Ctrl-w l then Ctrl-w j, then press Ctrl-w q to close this
specific split.
You can also close all splits except the current one with Ctrl-w o .
Open a third vertical split with Ctrl-w nv , then move to the
leftmost split with Ctrl-w h twice, then from inside the split on
the left press Ctrl-w o to close all except this split.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.3 SPLIT CURRENT BUFFER =
=================================================================
Use Ctrl-w s to split the view of the current buffer horizontally
and Ctrl-w v to split it vertically with the buffer opened in both
splits.
Close extra splits with Ctrl-w o to return to a single window view.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.4 USE COMMANDS TO SPLIT =
=================================================================
The :vsplit (or :vs for short) and :hsplit (or :hs) commands can
also be used to split a specific buffer vertically or horizontally.
For example, enter the command:
:vs something
to open a new vertical split named "something" to the right. Here,
"something" is not an existing file, so a new buffer with this name
will open; however, you can replace "something" with any file name
to open it in a new buffer. Similarly, you can enter the command:
:hs some_more
to open a new buffer named "some_more" in the lower half.
"some_more" could be any file or path to open this specific file
or path instead of a new empty buffer.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.5 SWAPPING SPLITS =
=================================================================
Open a split on the left with :vs hello1 and then a split below
with :hs hello2.
From hello2, press Ctrl-w K to swap it with the split above. Now
hello2 is at the top while hello1 is at the bottom.
Still from hello2, press Ctrl-w H to swap with the split on the
left: now hello2 is on the left and the tutor is on the top
right. After Ctrl-w you can use HJKL to split with the buffer
on the left / below / above / on the right.
Move back to the tutor split, and press Ctrl-w o to only keep
this split.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.6 TRANSPOSE SPLITS =
=================================================================
Open a split on the left with :vs hello1 and then a split below
with :vs hello2.
Move to the tutor split, then press Ctrl-w t to transpose the
vertical split opened from this window: now, hello1 and
hello2 are below, rather than to the right of, the tutor. Press
Ctrl-w t again to transpose back.
Move to the hello1 split, then press Ctrl-w t to transpose the
horizontal split that was opened from this window: now hello2
is on the right, rather than below, hello1. Press Ctrl-w t to
transpose back.
Move back to the tutor split and press Ctrl-w o to close all but
the tutor window.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13.7 OPEN SPLIT FROM FILEPICKER =
=================================================================
Splits can also be opened directly from the file picker. Press
space f to open the file picker. From there, you can type in text
to perform file lookup with fuzzy matching, and use the arrows
up and down to move the selected file (indicated by the > symbol).
If you want to exit the file picker, press Escape.
Select any file you like in the file picker. You could open it in
the current view by pressing enter (do not do this at present).
But you can also open it in a new split. Press Ctrl-v to open
the selected file in a new vertical split. Press space f again,
select any file you want, and press Ctrl-s to open it in a
horizontal split.
Move back to the tutor split, and press Ctrl-w o to close all
splits except this one.
=================================================================
= CHAPTER 13 RECAP =
=================================================================
Splits can be used to display either the same buffer several times
or several buffers. To access the main windows and splits commands,
press Ctrl-w . You can move between splits with Ctrl-w hjkl ,
you can close a split with Ctrl-w q , and you can close all but
the present split with Ctrl-w o .
Splits can also be opened by using the :vs FILENAME and
:hs FILENAME commands.
Splits can also be used directly from the file pickers, by using
Ctrl-v to open the file selected in a new vertical split, and
Ctrl-s in a horizontal split.
=================================================================
This tutorial is still a work-in-progress.
More sections are planned.
